Chapter 194: Chapter 123 Wealthy Sisters
Evening.
The military training performance was about to begin.
All the colleges in Hu Hai had sent student representatives to participate in this event.
The number of participants was estimated to be no less than a thousand or two.
It was like a small-scale solo concert.
Xu Musen had hired many temporary workers again, asking them to wear kangaroo delivery vests and hats, and hand out lemonade to the arriving crowd.
This kind of mobile live advertising was very effective.
And the kangaroo delivery logo was quite cute and distinctive, easily leaving a deep impression on people.
"Moriko!"
As Xu Musen was standing at the school entrance overseeing everything, a high-pitched voice reached him.
He looked up, and thought, what the heck, why is there an African person here?
However, the "African person" excitedly ran over and gave Xu Musen a bear hug.
Only then Xu Musen could see clearly: "He Qiang? How the hell did you get so tan?"
Xu Musen looked at He Qiang, who was already quite dark, but after this period of military training, it felt like he was almost scorched.
He Qiang chuckled and scratched his head: "I couldn't resist sneaking out to fish during military training and the instructor found out, so I was punished to stand at attention under the sun every day. It nearly killed me."
Xu Musen couldn't help laughing; this guy really hadn't changed.
"So, this is the 'Mouse Delivery' thing you've set up, huh? Looks quite impressive."
He Qiang had seen the banners hanging all around as soon as he entered the school.
"It's Kangaroo Delivery. Can't you pay a little attention? I was even thinking about making you responsible for your school's branch," Xu Musen laughed and punched him.
"Ah, it's Little Black," An Nuannuan said as she came over with a cup of lemonade, recognizing He Qiang at first glance.
It's just that the name didn't seem to be quite right.
"An Nuannuan, my name is He... Never mind," He Qiang said, feeling too weak to argue.
Xu Musen took the lemonade from her hand and handed it to He Qiang.
He Qiang took a sip of the water, glancing at An Nuannuan and Xu Musen.
Looks like after half a month of military training, these two seemed to be even more inseparable.
"Hey, how far have you two progressed? Have you done anything utterly shameless?" He Qiang teased Xu Musen with a wink.
"Mind your own business about grown-up stuff," Xu Musen replied with a smile as he shook his head. "What about you? It's been half a month since school started, have you taken a liking to any girls?"
"What do I need that for? Fishing is more fun; nobody can tell me what to do," He Qiang said, clearly enjoying himself when suddenly a voice came from behind him.
"He Qiang! Get back in line quickly, or I'll tell the coach again!" A girl shouted. She was pretty and petite, but with a strong presence, hands on hips, embodying the fiery temper of a Sichuanese girl.
"Here it comes again, such a nag..." He Qiang complained as soon as he saw her.
Xu Musen laughed: "Who is this?" Your next chapter is on мѵʟ
"Our class monitor. She was the one who reported me sneaking out to go fishing last time; she's always on my case," He Qiang said, clearly annoyed.
Xu Musen took another curious look at the girl and laughed: "She might as well be the first girl to take such a keen interest in you. She looks pretty too. Seize the opportunity!"
"Pfft! I don't like someone with such a temper," He Qiang scoffed.
"He Qiang! I'm counting to three! If you don't come back now, don't bother coming back at all!" the girl shouted again, and even An Nuannuan couldn't help but look over.
Wow, she's from the same hometown.
Xu Musen also vaguely heard the accent of "I tell you from the mountains of Shu" in her voice.
He Qiang sighed, glanced at the dumbfounded An Nuannuan, and muttered: "We're both Sichuan girls, how can there be such a big difference? Okay then, I'll head back first."
Xu Musen patted his shoulder: "Go on, we'll catch up later if you're free tonight."
With that, He Qiang jogged back to his school's formation.
The girl seemed to be still nagging at He Qiang's side, and he had a look of utter resignation.
Xu Musen thought for a moment. As the saying goes, just because two people fight every day doesn't mean their relationship is bad.
On the contrary, it's those who are polite to each other at every meeting who are actually not close.
He suddenly remembered what Yao Mingyue had said to him the night before.
"I'd rather you scold me when you see me, than ignore me..." Indeed, there was some truth to it.
"Xu Musen, are Little Black and that girl dating?" An Nuannuan now asked with curiosity.
"Why do you ask?"
An Nuannuan blinked: "Because my mom told me that back home, a girl only uses that tone of counting to three when she cares about someone."
Perhaps this is what many girls mean when they say, "I only lose my temper with you because I care."
How come it sounds so ethereal?
No wonder, in former times, when people mentioned girls from Sichuan and Chongqing, they'd think of 'ear-pulling'.
"What about you? I don't think I've ever heard you say anything about the mountain routes of Shu," Xu Musen looked down at An Nuannuan.
An Nuannuan fumbled with the hem of her clothes: "Mom said girls should still be gentle, otherwise boys will become 'ear-pulled'. "
"Is being 'ear-pulled' so bad? They're considerate and listen to their wives," Xu Musen chuckled.
But An Nuannuan shook her head: "Boys should be the head of the family, to protect everyone. Chores and such are things girls are better at."
An Nuannuan's simple way of thinking, had it been in an era ruled by 'internet fairy girls', would have probably been blasted online with comments like "Girls, we need to be independent, we marry to enjoy life, not to be nannies..."
How ridiculous.
Whether it's work or housework, it's about cooperation between spouses, a family doesn't divide tasks based on each other.
